Quantum aspects of target space duality

Quantum aspects of target space duality
Quantum aspects of target space duality

This thesis explores the phenomenon of target space duality at the quantum level. Aspects of Abelian and non-Abelian variants are considered in the context of Batalian-Vilkovisky quantisation in order to define path integrals. Obstacles of the construction of non-Abelian duals are overcome and the quantum nature of Abelian models is considered; neither investigation relying upon supersymmetry.

Abstract

This thesis explores the phenomenon of target space duality at the quantum level. Aspects of Abelian and non-Abelian variants are considered in the context of Batalian-Vilkovisky quantisation in order to define path integrals. Obstacles of the construction of non-Abelian duals are overcome and the quantum nature of Abelian models is considered; neither investigation relying upon supersymmetry.
